All these SEO words are confusing

    I´ve not been reading a lot about SEO, so all these words (SERP, Allinanchor and you name it) makes me confused. I´ve been able to learn about some of them but it would be nice if someone had a list somewhere with explanations for every SEO word.

    Google has a page that explains the advanced search operators (allintitle, allinurl, etc...) here:

    You left out "ROFIAWFGTUAYTDAAA" = "Rolling On Floor In Agony Waiting For Google To Update And Yahoo To Do Anything At All"... Isn't that one the singlemost inportant SEO term? :eek:

    I didn't know any of them at all. Sometimes I did a search for different phrases just to understand what they were.
